Dahon Men's Folding bike D7

Dahon Men's Folding bike D7

What happened

I locked up the bike at around 6 PM, left my apartment and returned around 10:30 PM and the bike was still locked to the lightpost in my apartment complex (slightly shielded from the main sidewalk, but only partly concealed). Because my U-lock doesn't fit around the lightpost and the frame of the bike, the frame was attached to the u lock and there was a cable looped around the lightpost attached to the u-lock. This morning when I left my apartment, the bike and the locks were gone, leading me to think that it was stolen during the night.
